Michael Jackson didn’t just perform with his music and dance, but he always thought outside the box on how it should be played out in his short films (he disliked calling them “music videos”), so several of them he did in the 90s were cutting edge of either CGI or blended with practical effects.

What if his children heard that?? Their hearts would be crushed. He hated that name and expressed it multiple times, I can't believe they would do it without a second thought. Absolutely mind blowing. Your comments is actually a direct quote from Michael, which I'm sure you know but just incase others didn't!!

Take On Me by the 80's group Ah-Ha, should've been on this list. The special effects were beyond amazing, mind-blowing! This music video was actually nominated for a huge award.🏆So no, don't completely agree with this list.

I remember when a lot of these videos (and so many others) premiered on MTV and how much of a big event they'd make out of it. It would be so exciting to finally hear the world premiere intro after days and weeks of hyping it up. The scandalous videos like NIN's "Closer" and Madonna's "Like a Prayer' couldn't be played until after 10pm though. 🤣

Why does modern American media try to discredit legends like Madonna that hard? You added 4 Janet Jackson videos and 3 MJ videos but only 1 Madonna video. Her Bedtime Story & Die Another Day videos are almost as expensive as Express Yourself. So, her videos should be at #2, #3 and #4. Billboard even named her the Greatest Music Video Artist Ever. Come on, guys

I remember when black or white came out. They did a special promotion where they played it during a channel 1 broadcast in over 50,000 schools. There was so much hype before the release, and so much controversy after with the end scene of Michael bashing a car and writhing around it grabbing his crotch. This scene was more than half the video!

When "Thriller" came out, there was an accompaniment VHS, "The Making of Thriller". I worked at Bradlees in the Sight & Sound department. I had to put the tape in, let it play, immediately rewind it, play it again...for about a week; then I had to play it 3-4 times a day. To this day I can still hear the choreographer's vocalizing of the steps. Funny side story: one day this teenage girl came in with her band of followers. She was acting all that, and her sycophants hung on her every word. They were watching the video, and the Queen was going on about what a HUGE Michael Jackson fan she was, how she's followed him FOREVER and knew ALL about him. On the tape was a clip of the Jackson 5 with a VERY young MJ singing. The Queen sneered, "Who's THAT???" I smiled and said, "THAT...is Michael Jackson!" I then stood back and watched her turn very red.

Janet Jackson once signed the Biggest recording contract for an Artist until Michael Jackson snatched the title from her 😂 MJ still holds the record as the Biggest Record deals of All time with $250 Million. That's why it's easy for them to released expensive MV's during that time. #RIPMJ
@xolaniyarbrough362 2 жыл бұрын
That wasn’t michael who signed that deal, that was the estate, and it was for music, it was just projects in general. In the early 90s, Janet was signed for $40m, which was the biggest at the time, then michael signed for $65m a couple of days later, and then a couple of years later Janet signed again for $80m which broke that record 😭 but it is still impressive they signed for that much for a man who isn’t here physically. Definition of ✨iconic✨
